To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EARNEsT Kora, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fern- E dale, in the county of Whatcom and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. Pan Attachments, of which the following is afspecification.

',.', This invention has for its primary object to provide an improved attachment for pans or similar cooking utensils whereby they can be held in a spaced position .with relation to I the stove or other source of heat, and thus prevented from burning. in}:-

A further object is to so construct the attachment that the elevation of the pan can be adjusted and the tem erature thereof thereby regulated as desire I W i in these objects in view the invention consists, essentially, of a plurality of pivotally-rnounted su ports for the pan and racks adapted to engage with the supports to hold. them at any desired inclination, and thus regulate the height of the pan.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of,construction of the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and acconipanying drawings, in which- F1 ure 1 1s a perspective view of a pan provide with my attachment. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of the pan having the attachment connected thereto. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the members of the device when detached.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters. I

This attachment is shown as applied to the pan 1, which mayv he of any conventional type and is shown in the drawings as beingof circular formation. Three of the supports are shown as arranged e uidistant about the pan, although ZLIlY SIlltJJlQ number may be em loyed without departing from the spirit of t e invention. The supports 2 are pivot ally mounted upon lugs 3, which project from the sides of the pan 1 near the bottom thereof. Extensions 4 project 11 wardly from the ii to engage with the racks 5, and thus regulate the inclination of the su ports. .Each rack 5 is shown as formed of a strip of sheet metal, which is provided along one of its edges with a series of teeth 6 and is provided at its extremities with transversely-projecting basal flanges 7, which are riveted or otherwise rigidly secured to the sides of the pan. The free end of the extension 4 is provided With a finger-piece 8, formed by looping the wire, and has a spring engagement with the. rack 5, which is arranged in the form of an are about the pivot 3. The sup ort 2 and extension 4 are referably forme of'a single piece of wire, w 'ch is coiled about the stud 3 at an intermediate point and is provided at its lower extremity with an enlargement 9. The teeth 6 upon the rack 5 are so formed that in the operation of the'device the pan can be raised by pushing upwardly upon the finger-piece 8 and causing the extension 4- to slip over the teeth 6.

the fin, er-piece 8 and disengage the mom or 4. from the teeth 6 before the handle can be pushed downwardly.

From the foregoing description it will be readily understood that the supports 2 can .is claimed as new is- 1. The combination of a an, supports pivotally connected to the si es thereof, extensions projecting from said supports, and means for adjustably engaging the extcnsions to hold the supports at any inclination in order to regulate the elevation of the pan.

2. The combination of a an, supports pivotally connected to the si es thereof, extensio'ns projecting from the supports, and racks secured to the an and engaging with the ex tensions to hold the supports at the desired inclination.

3. The combination of a pan, supports pivctally connected to the sides thereof, upwardly-proiec'ting extensions from said sup ports, and racks secured to the pan and'cngaging with the extensions to hcld the supports at the desired inclination.

4. The combination of a pan, supports pivotally. connected thereto, spring extensions projecting from the supports, and racks upon the pan with which the extensions have a spring en agement in order to hold the sup ports at t e desired inclination.

- 5. The combination of a pan, lugs project in from the sides of the pan, supports pivota'l y connected to the pan, extensions projectl-ioweven'when it is desired to lower thepan it is necessary to pull outwardly uppn ing upwardly from the supports, said sup- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature ports and extensions being ormed of single i in presence of two Witnesses. pieces ofrwire which are coiled about the be- T fore-mentioned lugs at an intermediate point, i EAR) EST k 5 and racks secured to the pan and having a Witnesses: springengagement withthe extensionstohold l O.
